Hyderabad, March 5: Two navy personnel are reported missing after their helicopter crashed off Visakhapatnam this afternoon.
Two other servicemen who were aboard the Chetak 440 chopper when it went down 10 nautical miles (19km) off the coast around 3pm during a training sortie have been rescued, officials said.
Navy helicopters and vessels have mounted a search for the missing duo, the officials said, but there was no word about their fate till late tonight.
An inquiry has been ordered into the accident, which came less than six months after the crash of a similar chopper in Goa left three naval personnel dead.
